It's economical, cuts through grease, leaves dishes squeaky clean, and is gentle on your hands—that's what the advertising promises. But how do Fairy dishwasher tablets perform? What types are there, and what are their ingredients? We'll try to answer that.

A few words about the manufacturer Fairy

Fairy pill reviews

We decided to test whether Fairy pills are really as good as the advertising claims by reading reviews from those who have used them. Here are some of those reviews.

Rucolca, Moscow

I bought Fairy All in 1 capsules by chance because they were on sale. I wasn't expecting much, but the results were very pleasing. The tablets have a soluble coating, so there are no problems with them, the main thing is to place them with the white side up in the dishwasher compartment. Their composition is similar to Finish Quantum tablets. After washing with these tablets, dishes are perfectly clean, spoons and forks sparkle, and there are no streaks. Conclusion: these excellent tablets are better than Finish All in 1 and less expensive.

Rrog, Severny

With the advent of the dishwasher, choosing a dishwashing detergent became a real headache. I bought a 90-count pack of Fairy All-in-One tablets in Finland for about $4.50, but that was quite a while ago. Since the tablets are Finnish, there's not a single word in Russian on the packaging. I'll tell you right away, after using tablets like these, I'm not really keen on buying Russian-made ones; the difference in quality is noticeable. fairy capsules

What I like most about the Finnish capsules is the lack of odor; the dishes squeak after washing. Glassware, cutlery, crystal vases, and glasses look perfect—something I never experienced with the Russian Fairy.

But this foreigner also has a drawback. Teflon-coated containers, baking sheets, and frying pans are not washed perfectly, leaving behind droplets of residue and streaks. I can't say it's the dishwasher's fault, as this is my second dishwasher and I've experimented with it quite a bit. I still haven't found the perfect product on the Russian market that meets both price and quality standards. But I'm still hopeful that one will emerge, and for now, I recommend the Finnish Fairy.

Ekagur, Moscow

We've been using our dishwasher for five years now, and one day we decided to buy a pack of Fairy All in 1 capsules (52 pieces). They're easy to use because you don't have to unwrap anything. I immediately disliked the ingredients, even though I'd never paid attention to them before. These tablets contain phosphates, and they're quite high, at around 30%. The idea that the dishes will shine and sparkle after washing is true, and I have no complaints. All the dishes are clean, including the plates and even the pots. But not everything is perfect, and for me, these tablets have a major drawback. The problem is that they leave a strong, unmistakable odor on the dishes. Because of the ingredients and the odor, I wouldn't recommend these tablets, and I wouldn't buy them myself.

I've been using a dishwasher for almost three years, and during that time I've bought various dishwashing detergents and tablets, including Finish. But I'll share my impressions of Fairy Platinum. The advantage of the capsules is that there's no need to buy salt or special rinse aid. Therefore, I think the price is justified. Another plus is that you don't need to unwrap them; the capsules dissolve in water.

The packaging itself is convenient to use, as it has a lock and protects the capsules from moisture. The cleaning quality is perfect, everything is clean. I recommend these tablets.

YanaN, Essentuki

I was attracted by the new packaging of Fairy dishwasher tablets and decided to give them a try. I bought a small pack of 20 capsules. Of course, I liked the fact that you don't have to unwrap the tablets. The pleasant scent immediately catches your attention, making you wonder why you even need it when washing dishes. Dishes aren't laundry and shouldn't smell like that, especially not like chemicals—it's unlikely to stimulate your appetite.

I can't say they clean dishes very well. I mostly use cheap tablets; they do a better job. I don't see the point in buying expensive tablets, so I don't buy them anymore.

So, Fairy tablets are like Finish tablets They're in demand and have found a niche among satisfied customers. Everyone's tastes are different, so you need to experiment and find the tablets that work best for your dishwasher.
